LONDON — Julian Assange, the fugitive founder of WikiLeaks and publisher of state secrets that embarrassed governments across the world, was arrested in London on Thursday almost seven years after he sought refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy.
Assange was wanted by British police for skipping bail in August 2012, while he was under investigation for sexual assault and rape in Sweden.
London's Metropolitan Police said the Ecuadorian government had withdrawn asylum for Assange, adding that officers has been "invited into the embassy by the ambassador."
The Australian national has maintained that if forced to surrender to authorities he would eventually be extradited to the U.S. to face charges.
WikiLeaks has repeatedly claimed that the Justice Department is building a criminal case centered on the leaking of Democratic emails hacked by the Russians in the 2016 election.

President Donald Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, told a congressional hearing in February that former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone was in contact with Assange before WikiLeaks released leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee.
Assange, 47, has always maintained that the source of the leaks was not Russia, contrary to the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Special counsel Robert Mueller recently concluded his probe into Russian electoral interference and the Trump campaign.
Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 and made news four years later with the publication of leaked information provided by Chelsea Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst and self-described whistleblower.
These included a video of a U.S. military helicopter fatally shooting people in Iraq, and thousands of classified military logs revealing sensitive information about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, thought to be the biggest leaks in U.S. military history.
Manning last month refused to testify before a federal grand jury looking into the release of documents to WikiLeaks.

In November 2010, the Swedish government issued an international arrest warrant for Assange in connection with allegations of sexual assault and rape from two women. Assange, who has denied the allegations, surrendered to British police the following month and was released on bail — whereupon he fled, breaking the terms of his bond agreement.
Assange's lawyers have often warned that he would be handed over to U.S. prosecutors because of WikiLeaks' publication of classified documents. Rafael Correa, then the president of Ecuador, granted him asylum in 2012.
Sweden later dropped its investigation and Assange is no longer wanted there — but he remained in the embassy because London's Metropolitan Police said he would be arrested for violating his bail as soon as he stepped outside. The local force has been running an expensive operation to post officers outside the building in case that happens.
Assange became an Ecuadorian citizen last year, even though his relations with his hosts had soured years ago.

A member of a Ramona family that has invited adults and children to their home later this month for free rides on their miniature railroad is a registered sex offender who molested children, The San Diego Union-Tribune confirmed this week.
Christopher Russell Green, 45, is a registered sex offender who lives with his parents at their home in Ramona, his father, Russell Green, confirmed Monday by phone.
The family has invited the public Dec. 22 and 23 for free train rides on a miniature railroad that Christopher and Russell Green spent years constructing on five acres of the family’s residential property, according to a news article published last month in the Ramona Sentinel.
With the help of about 15 volunteers, the family hopes to accommodate several hundred passengers, according to the article. The trains are built to one-eighth scale and run at about 5 mph on a 7,000-foot network of track.
The family planned to offer free rides on the railroad for other holidays and special events, such as the Fourth of July and birthday parties by appointment, the article said, adding that the family has previously offered rides in Costa Mesa.
When asked why he did not disclose to the public his son’s status as a sex offender when advertising the train rides, Russell Green said his son’s criminal history was irrelevant.
“I don’t think it’s any of their business,” he said.
Russell Green said he didn’t know where his son would be during the holiday train rides, but that there would be “plenty of supervision” during the event.
According to criminal court records, Christopher Green pleaded guilty in 2003 to crimes including two felony counts of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under the age of 14. He admitted to befriending the child for the purpose of committing the sex crimes.
Christopher Green also pleaded guilty to two felony counts of sex with two girls and one misdemeanor count of possessing material depicting sexual conduct by a person under 18, according to his criminal case file. He was sentenced to six years in prison, court records said.
Russell Green told U-T Watchdog on Monday that he had not informed the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department of the Greens’ plan to invite the public to their home this month because Green is not on parole.
Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Cliff Rinder, who oversees the county’s multi-agency task force to monitor registered sex offenders and investigate related crimes, told the U-T on Tuesday that the department was aware of the Greens’ railroad construction project, but it did not know about the holiday event until a reporter asked about it Monday.
“We’ve opened up an investigation into this and we’re going to be taking measures to keep the community in Ramona safe for this event,” Rinder said Tuesday.
Restrictions on the activities of registered sex offenders in California vary from registrant to registrant depending on factors including the nature of their crimes and age of victims.
According to information available Tuesday on the state’s Megan’s Law website, “Registrants whose sex offense conviction was for a crime where the victim was a minor under age 16 cannot be an employer, employee, independent contractor, or volunteer with any person, group or organization where the registrant would be working directly and in an unaccompanied setting with minor children on more than an incidental and occasional basis or have supervision or disciplinary power over minor children.”
Violating the prohibition against working with children is a misdemeanor crime, according to the website.

Bay District Schools Homeless Liaison Kay Daniel says this is the highest number of students in a homeless situation the district has ever seen.
"Never have we ever been at 3,800," said Daniel.
That number was significantly lower last year this time.
"On December the 5th of 2017 we were, we actually had 858 students identified as living in a homeless situation," said Daniel.
That means about 3,200 students are left without permanent roofs over their heads, because of the destruction caused by Hurricane Michael.
"A 3,000 student increase... I mean that's just dramatic," said Daniel.
But Kara Mulkusky with Bay District Schools says they're working to match the needs of impacted families.
"Were basically pairing our homeless students and families with any type of resources, getting them contact information to apply for housing, sending out money through our district communication with numbers," said Mulkusky.
Although the district can't directly work to place families in housing right now...
"Where we would normally work with a family for housing, trying to get housing, that was, you know we were replaced of course by FEMA and the Red Cross," said Daniel.
Mulkusky says there's one thing she's happy about coming out of this natural disaster.
"The greatest gift right now is that all of the families pretty much see the importance of having the kids enrolled and in the classrooms right now," said Mulkusky. "It's providing that routine, that normalcy for our students."
And they're not letting Michael change the level of education for students.
"We want them to be in school getting the authentic, engaging lessons that they got even before the storm," said Mulkusky.
Other local groups like Hearts with Hands will make sure that through the holiday season students classified as homeless get a Blessings in a Box Christmas package.

A 23-year-old YouTube star shed 50 pounds, transforming her body from a size 14 to a svelte size 6. However, her new frame has prompted backlash from her followers who she claims have started “slut-shaming” her for doing the same things she used to do when she weighed more.
Remi Cruz took to YouTube to record a video commenting on her new figure – and the attacks she’s been getting online for it.

“Overnight, at some point, it switched from being funny, stupid or whatever, to ‘I'm a slut, close your legs, you're a whore, you look like a porn star,'” she said in the video.
Cruz said she was at one-time praised for her silly antics on her channel, but after losing the weight, some of her 2.5 million subscribers have called her out for how she acts.
“My sense of humor has always been very idiotic. I've always just acted really stupid, and I don't really care. I always just do whatever,” she said in the video. “I've been throwing my legs up in the air since 2013 or however long.”
Cruz said the only thing that has changed in the last year is her body type.
“At one point, there was that initial comment for me that went from ‘Oh my god, that's so funny,’ to ‘you're a slut,’” she said. “'And when it happened, the only thing I can say that I felt is just pure confusion because I hadn't changed,” she added.

“I'm still doing the same thing, I still have my leg up in the air, I've been doing this for years, people,” she added. “I've been dropping it low on the dance floor, twerking out in public not caring. It was funny.”
However, now when Cruz poses in a bikini, she said people call her a “porn star.”
After posting a photo of herself in a swimsuit next a pool, one person commented, “Literally just do porn. You'll get the male attention you are apparently so desperate for.”
“Lol knew what? That you're a porn star?” another wrote.
Not all of her followers turned on her, though.
“Wow, it just makes me sick that some people can comment such mean and hurtful things! Remi, thank you for being you and for being so awesome! You are beautiful and inspiring!” one person wrote.
“I’ve always loved your personality and admired your confidence since I started watching you a couple years ago. I’m so glad people have such a great person to look up to who is making a positive impact,” another wrote.

Though Cruz said the comments used to get her down, she now states that she’s going to keep making the same content she always made.
“I’m going to keep being my obnoxious, stupid, idiotic, stupid sense of humor self because I like it, and it makes me happy and I have fun.”

Since Hurricane Michael, many good Samaritans have found ways of giving back. Ken White's unique idea was not just a way to give back, but a way to bring back pets to their loves ones.
Despite living in British Columbia, animal lover White, wanted to find a way to help. With the help of his assistant, Robin Stone, they created the "Hurricane Michael Lost, Found And Reunited Pets" Facebook group. To date, the group has reunited 50 families with their pets. Having previously made a Facebook group for Hurricane Sandy victims, White knew it was time to do something.
"I said to myself, 'Ken, there could be some people staying behind to try to ride out this hurricane.' And so on day one as the hurricane was hitting the Panama City area I had my Facebook site up just in case there was missing pets."
If you are looking to find your furry friend or reunite one with its owner, you can check out White's Facebook page here.

The XFL, a new professional football league backed by WWE CEO Vince McMahon, on Wednesday unveiled the inaugural eight cities and stadiums that will host its teams when play begins in 2020.
XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck said the league will focus on maintaining a fast-paced, safer on-field product with fewer game stoppages and penalties. Ticket prices will be “significantly lower” than other U.S. professional sports leagues, he added. The league will begin play on Feb. 8, 2020, the weekend after that year’s Super Bowl.
The eight XFL teams will be based in New York, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Seattle, Tampa Bay, and Washington, D.C. Games will take place at the following venues: MetLife Stadium in New Jersey; Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas; TDECU Stadium in Houston; StubHub Center in Carson, California; The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis; CenturyLink Field in Seattle; Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay; and Audi Field in Washington.
“We believe launching in February 2020 gives us the time to get the game, the fan experience and the partnerships right, and we believe we are well on our way,” Luck said.
Luck said the games will feature a shorter play clock compared to the NFL and conclude in less than three hours. Rules will be simplified and broadcasts will air fewer commercials. The XFL is currently testing out elements of its format with junior college football teams to solidify a final on-field product.
All eight XFL teams will have the same roster budget. Player salaries will be “very competitive,” and rosters will be drawn from all available players, including those who have been cut from NFL teams, Luck said.
The XFL will play its games during the NFL’s offseason and will “complement,” not directly compete with the NFL, he added. The league will fully implement gambling in all states where it is legal. Players will be tested for performance-enhancing drugs.
Luck said the XFL will air on multiple platforms, with details on media partners to come in the near future.
McMahon sold WWE shares worth $100 million to bankroll the XFL’s relaunch. The original XFL, which formed as a joint partnership between WWE and NBC, folded in 2001 after just one season.

PETA's request to replace "anti-animal" language" in everyday conversation was met with ridicule and criticism after the animal rights group compared popular meat-related expressions to racism and homophobia.
“Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start ‘bringing home the bagels’ instead of the bacon,” PETA said Tuesday in a tweet.
“Words matter, and as our understanding of social justice evolves, our language evolves along with it,” it added.

In a graphic, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals offered several alternatives to "speciesist" phrases.
Instead of “kill two birds with one stone," say “feed two birds with one scone.” "Take the bull by the horns” should be replaced with “take the flower by the thorns" and instead of "bring home the bacon," say "bring home the bagels"
Some on Twitter weren’t sold on the idea, with some arguing that PETA was equating animal abuse with race and gender issues.

The Panama City Mall will close, according to the mall management.
"While certain spaces in the Mall were damaged less than other portions, most of the Mall including the Common Areas, sustained significant storm and wind damage," officials wrote in a news release. "Above all, water damage throughout was catastrophic. Immediately after the storm, third-party experts, engineers, and consultants were retained to assist with stabilizing the Mall, assessing the integrity of structural and mechanical systems, and testing moisture infiltration."
In the weeks since, the vast majority of tenants have removed inventory and fixtures from their leased premises providing an opportunity for Mall Management to assess the full extent of damage.
“It is with a heavy heart we announce our decision to keep Panama City Mall closed for the foreseeable future. This decision is an extremely difficult one for us because we know it impacts the community and our dedicated on-site employees. Unfortunately, the order of magnitude to rebuild comes at too great a cost. It is economically unfeasible to rebuild as the cost far exceeds the repaired value of the mall” said Charlie Hendon, President of Hendon Properties. “We’ve been fortunate to serve customers here for the last 42 years and are humbled by the meaningful relationships fostered in that time.”
The closure of Panama City Mall does not include the adjacent Shoppes at Panama City or the Starbucks/Vitamin Shoppe Outparcel. New York’s Famous Pizza reopened on Black Friday and Moe’s Southwest Grill reopened this past Saturday, officials added. Construction is underway in Best Buy, America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses, Palm Beach Tan, Wayback Burger, and Lisa’s Nails.
Re-opening dates will be announced shortly.
Mall Ownership has entered into preliminary discussions with Planet Fitness and Bed Bath & Beyond to identify options to operate as outside tenants through the transition and to engage their support for a future redevelopment of the site.
“Our customers have expressed time and again the need for a relevant, experiential shopping destination in Panama City, east of the Hathaway Bridge.” said Charlie Hendon. “This community deserves all options be explored.”
Any redevelopment plan will also require Mall Ownership to reach agreements with Dillard’s, JCPenney, and Sears (Sertiage) who own their respective buildings and parcels. Dillard’s has expressed intentions to remain open and JCPenney plans to rebuild and reopen next year.
A timeline for building demolition is not yet determined.
